rays anodized lug nuts on factory wheels,

the stockers can be powdercoated. The edges will eventually chip, but as long as you aren't putting on and taking off your wheels every other week like a track junkie,

WITH OR WITHOUT ICHIBA SPACERS IT IS UNSAFE TO RUN ANY OTHER STYLE LUG NUT!!!!!!!

At SEMA, I was talking to either McGard or Gorilla and they have black locking lug nuts in our style, but not the regular ones. You could get 5 sets of locks and replace all of them with locks.

How does adding Ichiba spacers allow you to run aftermarket lugs??

DO NOT USE AFTERMARKET LUGS ON YOUR STOCK SPORT OR BASE WHEELS

Unless you want to replace your fenders like I had to when my wheels fell off. I learned the hardway that stock wheels use mag lugs that hold the wheel on through the an outer ring. The inner ring is weak and thin and will not hold your wheel on if you only use that. Here is what it did to my rim, the lug went completely through the rim making a hole.



And here are why the mag lugs are different, they have a cone at the bottom and flat on the outside so they are very secure.

NOT looking to put these on stock rays.

But I could use some finding a reputable vendor for the rays dura lugs. I'm worried I'll end up buying fakes from the wrong guy. I can try rays directly but I'm guessing there'd going tk be a long wait.
